At least it avoids two separate drive trains I suppose but battery size is minimal. I'd much rather see a larger battery with a small range extender engine - essentially a generator - and external charging as the main input. Feels like too much of a compromise weighted towards an internal combustion engine and does nothing to be more environmental than a normal ICE car.
I imagine most of the extra cost is in the powertrain setup. That's fair, it's dependent on usage and the style of hybrid, but I do think E-power is more efficient and more accessible than a plug-in hybrid for example
I’ve owned an Epower for 4 months now and my previous car was a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid and I have to say that the running costs have been very similar but the ride has been so much nicer in the Nissan it’s so smooth more like driving in a full EV ,so all I can say is if your in the market for a new vehicle give it a test drive and I’d be surprised if you don’t like the ride.

Nissan claims 53 mpg, real world mpg determined by CarWOW is 45 mpg, mine gets 43 mpg, drives very well, Great safety and driving assisst features.
Nice that’s solid and what made you go for the e-Power? Thank you for watching as well!
E-power does worst or the same as a typical hybrid with more money. I am not sure how the price premium is justified.

@@ShaneF-d7o If running costs the same I am not sure it worths the premium. An ev would probably do a better job.
